Kodak Black's Lawyer Claims 'Rock' Found On Rapper Was 'Not Cocaine'

Rapper Kodak Black's lawyer has broken his silence on the recent arrest of his famous client's alleged possession of cocaine in Florida.

Bradford Cohen slammed the details of the arrest and claimed that he was certain the "rock" found on Black was not cocaine but Percocet.

Cohen also noted that Black has become dependent on prescription pills due to injuries sustained from allegedly being beaten by guards in prison.

While speaking on his Black's latest arrest for drug possession at Plantation, Florida, Cohen gave a detailed description of his relationship with his client, claiming that he has represented him since he was a "kid."

The lawyer wrote, "The job of an attorney is never easy. That statement can be amended to read the job of an attorney who cares about your case, and your well-being is never easy. I have represented @kodakblack since he was a kid."

Cohen then talked about Black's time in federal prison and how the rapper ended up being hooked on prescription pills due to injuries sustained from alleged abuse he suffered at the hands of prison guards.

"When he went to federal prison, he was beaten by the guards so badly that he had to be hospitalized at one point. We sued the BOP, but Kodak said he wanted to move forward when he was released and had me drop the case. The injuries from those abuses coupled with the shooting caused him to get prescribed pain medicine," the lawyer stated.

We're told Kodak normally carries his prescription medication in a baggie, and could be misconstrued as another substance if it is unmarked. In this case, our source says this is exactly how he was holding the pills. Plus, he was prescribed the meditation following the prison abuse allegations and being the victim of a gunshot wound. Kodak's lawyer will bring proof of the perpetrators to court.

Cohen's comment came after Black, real name Bill Kapri, was charged with possession of cocaine improperly parking or stopping a vehicle, and fabricating or tampering with physical evidence.

In Black's lawyer's statement, he claimed that the rapper had become dependent on prescription medication like "many in the country," adding that what was found on his client after his latest arrest was not cocaine.

"Unfortunately, like many people across the country, he became dependent on those prescribed pills. In this latest case, my belief is that the 'rock' this officer found when tested will be a Percocet, not cocaine," Cohen stated.

The rapper's lawyer emphasized that the test officers carry out at the scene of an arrest is a "presumptive test for illegal substances" and "it just turns blue."

Concluding his statement, Cohen stressed that Black "has doubled down on getting better with assistance from many people and was signed up for immersion rehabilitation for his dependency."

He added: "Hopefully, he will be able to cont [sic] with the help he needs. The system penalizes users with charges of trafficking with no indicia of trafficking. That isn't what the legislature intended."

As we previously reported, Black was booked into the Broward County jail on Thursday, December 7,  following his arrest on charges of cocaine possession, improperly parking or stopping a vehicle, and fabricating or tampering with physical evidence.

This makes Black's second arrest on drug charges as he was previously arrested in July last year on account of drug possession in South Florida.

At the time of his arrest in 2022, Black was charged with trafficking in oxycodone and being in possession of a controlled substance. The rapper was eventually released on bail after being booked into the Fort Lauderdale jail in Florida.

Black and his lawyer have since filed a request to dismiss the drug possession charges from last year, claiming that the 31 tablets of oxycodone found on him were allegedly over-the-counter medication, specifically Tylenol. Cohen described Black's arrest as a "coordinated takedown," noting that the drugs that underwent testing were destroyed in the process.
